When i activsync the computer, I find that I can't use the wifi settings. Is this a common problem or is it resolvable? I can live with this setting, but should I be able to do this?
Many thanks in advance
Think it's intended. Expecting that if you're already connected to the computer you'll want to access the network and internet via that faster link - at least that's what I do.

hows the conection done? hopefully usb?
what setting / software are needed on the lappy and tytn?
if at all it can be done?
You can do it through USB, Bluetooth or IrDA.
These instructions are for universal, but the same applies for TyTN:
BlueTooth
IrDA
USB
maybe we should put this on the wiki?

DUN
Is there a way to use DUN now that it's been disabled because of Internet Sharing?
New Tyten and Vista
Ok, I've been through the 3 ways to connec as a modem, I actually manged to connect ages ago with XP.
I now have a new Tyten, well new for the states but probably old in the rest of the world.
Anyway the New Tyten has a thing called Internet Sharing instead of wireless modem
None of the old settings are there anymore.
It also has a new way to connect via Blue Tooth Pan.
I've tried the Pan way but I had no luck, the connection seemed to work but I couldn't get on the internet.
I then tried USB, I couldn't get Vista to recognise the Tyten, even when I turned off the active synch, anybody got any ideas????
with Vista and WM6 internet sharing I think its easier than DUN. there is a whole how to in the help program on your hermesjust open the help app and search for internet sharing. just make sure your phone and laptop are connected via bluetooth and then open the internet sharing app and click connect make sure its set to bluetooth PAN. on my laptop I have a little bluetooth icon when its on so I right click that and then connect via persoanl network and then a little pop up pops up and I click on the connect bottun and it connects in about 15 seconds pretty easy! I know for USB you have to open the WMDC connection settings and uncheck allow usb connections.
Thanks
Cheers for that, I'll give it a go, although to be honest I've been trying it all afternoon..
I get the connection but no Internet connection..
Help Still needed
Ok, the plot thickens, I found drivers on the HTC Europe site to connect your Hermes to Vista.
I uninstalled all of the previous active synch hardware and also thre previous modem
When I plug the phone in it doesn't open the new downloads.
Any ideas, I'm running Windows 5.1, is there an official Windows 6 I can update to?
Some help with Macbook
So the instructions are great but how does it work on an Apple Macbook? I've searched through the forum many times without any luck. Any ideas on how to connect via USB and/or bluetooth?

this may help...
For anyone having trouble getting their laptop to recognize the 8525 as a modem this may be the solution.

my phone was working fine but when I tried to set my wife's up to tether it wouldn't show new hardware found when plugged in and when I tried to manually install the driver the process bix just kinda stalled out and wouldn't go forward with the driver even though I had browsed to the right one. I had to uninstall the driver which was viewing the phone as a serial device. if you're having this trouble then try following te directions in the link above. it worked for me...
Hello,
I have a huge problem concerning my XDA Neo (Prophet)!
Months ago I had a XDA Mini and when it was connected to my computer I had an internet connection on my XDA.
This does not work on my XDA Neo. Im not able to establish a connection and I really need to, because several programms (SPB Insight) need to update via Internet, and normally they would start automatically but they cant connect to the internet!
I tested Pocket IE and it doesnt work either! If I establish a connection via GPRS everything works fine.
Are there any differences between XDA Neo and Mini that could explain this problem? Do i have to change settings in order to get a connection?
Did i miss anything else?!?
Please Help, I didnt find anything useful via Search or via Google. Everything was related to WLAN !
Thank you in advance!
Jack Bauer
Well, it works .. now?!? Dont ask me why. I established a new partnership (did this 2 times .. before), and now I have a connection!?
If someone has a clue why it didnt work ... tell me !?
Bauer
Two possibilities:
1) Firewall, since with WM 5 and up the device is recognized as a network by the PC.
2) Mismatch in settings between ActiveSync->Connection settings->'This computer connects to...' and (on the phone) Settings-Connections->connections->Advanced->Network selection
Hi, i had a similar problem, tried a few things, and it worked
1. On your device, open Connections, click Advanced :
Select MY ISP for programs that connect to the internet
Select MY WORK NETWORK for private network
2. Open Activesync, Connection settings, Select "Internet"
Try and see if that works, if it doesnt, there is a LVM Reg patch file in this forum for the desktop, which makes it work for sure.
Cheers

Hey -
Sorry if this has been covered before but it's so hard to find what you're lookign for with search sometimes.... anyways...
I got a nice lil cradle thing for my xv6800 and want to have it hooked up to my laptop when I'm in the office. I seem to be having a problem though when the device is connected it kills all regular VZW connections over EVDO... I have the device in sync with exchange server 24/7 so need to make sure it keeps the connection to VZW even while connected to the PC. It seems PC connection is trying to override VZW for some reason?
I went through the connections settings and removed all but Verizon Wireless in there but USB still doing some kind of an override....
am I missing something? Anyone have any helpful hints to allow my device to stay connected through EVDO while docked to PC?
Thanks
still cant find anything on this... activesync over bluetooth doesn't affect data connection but USB kills it.... no one has a solution?
oh come on.. all the ppc geeks in here and no one has any clue?
maybe I posted in the wrong forum for attention?
hi,
does anybody know if we can use internet from pc on the x1 via bluetooth...
i tried finding on google but in vain...can anybody help me regarding this...
ps: i am aware that we can use internet connection via usb cable...what i want to know is that can we use it via bluetooth...and whats the procedure...
thanks in advance...
so many views and no replies???
i really only think it will work the other way around. if you have 3g using the x1 as a bluetooth modem so you can get internet on your pc. unless you have a highspeed internet connection on your pc that isn't already wireless, in which case you can buy a usb wifi adapter for pretty cheap. i dunno if this was any help...
bleh. disregard most of that. i'm sleepy... i only read half. yes it is possible to use your phone as a bluetooth modem though
thanks dude...
the thing is that i hav a really fast pc connection and its cheap...whereas the phone internet service is costly...so i was just wondering if its possible...(net fron pc to phone via bluetooth)
thanks anyways...cheers
Actually there is a way.....
If you establish an bluetooth active-sync connection.
You should be able to surf the net via the bluetooth connection...
But it is still more efficient to go by wi-fi....
Stuart
awesome dude...ill check it rightaway..thanks
doesnt work...detects the serial port..but connection fails..
I know that with Palm OS PDA we used Mocha PPP, perhaps you can give it a try.
Else perhaps an adhoc connection if you want to try Wifi.
yes being connected to activesync with bluetooth give the phone the network access of the pc
been doing it since i had an old wm2003 device
or you can do this if you dont want to use activesync

Try initial the BT detection from yr PC (or the other way as I don't remember.). The "serial port" will be replaced w/ ActiceSync eventually.
It does work but it depends on your contract
The carrier company can tell if you are browsing through your phone or using internet sharing. I am on O2 and it does not have this, but if I put my T-Mobile sim card in, it works fine. PC's use higher bandwidth and this costs the mobile companies.
If you want to use it, I recommend using the USB lead as bluetooth and 3G connection will abuse your battery.
To use, press start, programs internet sharing. You can only use it if you have activesync on your pc, USB mode is activesync and your mobile provider lets you.

he want to do the opposite he want to surf using his computers internet not
letting his computer use his phone internet
so i was right the first time. all he needs is a usb wifi adapter.

something kind of like that
and you won't even have to use bluetooth after you set it up. just turn on your wifi in the comm manager

This method may not work anymore since PAN client is being removed in recent WM release. You may need to try this to get PAN client working. I posted my working experience over there w/ my Att tilt. But this method require a lot more effort to get it working compare to activesync.
yeah... you guys are backwards on this

why would anyone want to buy additional hardware when it "should" be possible to use the current internet connection on your PC over bluetooth?

i thought the bluetooth internet sharing only works one way...?
if you go to internet sharing on the phone, you choose bluetooth pan and then a connection that your phone uses to connect to the internet. that's not what he wants. someone correct me if i'm wrong and there's another way to do this bc i'm really not sure.
Hey everybody!
Lately i have been trying to get internet through my USB connection without installing anything on the computer. I have searched but didnt find much or atleast anything i could understand)!
I do have an app called internet sharing i tried using that but it doesnt let me connect to INTERNET but only to "Orange Internet" which incurrs data charges(sorta defeats the purpose)! Is it supposed to only do that?
So basicly is it possible to connect to regular internet (as if i was connected through wifi) on my wizard without installing anything on the computer??
Thank you very much A.Mishra
O, glad I can help you out with this one, I have a i600 and I wanted to do the same thing, I found some program called WMWifiRouter, you can download a trial version on their official site :
